Jamaica Plain

Más información sobre el libro

The rich history of Jamaica Plain traces back to its seventeenth-century pastoral roots, evolving from a summer retreat for Boston's elite to a vibrant suburban neighborhood integrated into the city in 1874. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, preserved by visionaries like Benjamin Bussey and Henry A.S. Dearborn. The origin of its name is debated, with connections to rum shipments following Oliver Cromwell's seizure of Jamaica. Today, Jamaica Plain stands out as one of New England's loveliest locales, blending historical significance with contemporary charm.
